The covering camera should be set up on a tripod to cover the whole event in a wide shot. This camcorder shouldn't move during the whole event, so you don't need someone there monitoring it all the time. You should turn off auto focus, and try to ensure that the camera is placed so that it receives good sound. With this done you can relax. You know that whatever happens, your event is going to be recorded in its entirety.

The other camera(s) can either be handheld or mounted on a tripod which can be smoothly moved. Use a roving camera to get cutaways, close ups, panning and moving shots. Because you know the covering camera is getting all the footage you need, you can be as creative as you like with the roving camera.

Always keep the camera running If you're filming a sequence of events that will be continuous in your film, don't keep starting and stopping the roving camera. In the edit you'll want to synchronize the action from both cameras, and you'll have to do this each time you turn off the camera.

Keep to one side: Always keep the roving camera on the same side of the action as the covering camera. That way everybody in shot will appear to be looking in the right direction.

Remember -- you may want to use the picture from one camera and the sound from the other.
